    What has Lara done?

      Actually took risks. Each of these coward welterweights would have numerous losses if they fought Lara's resume.

        I'm with you on thurman,Brook and khan they have dancing around each other for the past year. I just think credit should be given to Porter for going down to 144 taking that risk with the weight and winning the fight against broner. I would have been fine with Lara also, I just think a Porter fight made a lot of sense with that win over broner on network TV.

          Floyd out of his comfort zone at 154 for his finale , not gonna happen.I Like Lara but he really hurt his stock with a lackluster effort in the Canelo fight

            I wouldn't mind Porter. But Lara has fought much better fighters, IMO. It's not really close.

                Leonard, Duran, Robinson,l and Whitaker would fight Lara at 154. No doubt in my mind. It's what TBE candidates do. It's in their blood.

                  Floyd straight up doesn't fight fast technical boxers. He plays the waiting game with come forward punchers or picks em up when they're in less than optimal form.

                  There was even less chance of him fighting Lara than there was of him fighting Khan.

                    Honestly the whole he doesn't sell argument is thrown out the door one Mayweather fought Berto. It just seem like a convenient excuse to fight B grade fighters (ex. Maidana and Guerreroe.)

                    Lara should have gotten the call but I think Floyd isn't interested in fighting a boxer with a longer reach.

                      it would have been even worse than the one with berto, lara blew it with the canelo fight, he ain't getting anybody any time soon
